Told ya'll boys to get it early. Line's going down down baby, yo' street in a Range Rover!
 
Line moving back in Wisconsin's favor now. They're back up to -6 at Bovada and -5.5 at 5Dimes.

I won money from vegas by betting the Astros! Y'all mofos keep believing Vegas. Wisconsin becomes one dimensional. This game is gonna be trouble.
 
Well of course it did reverse and now is back to -5.5 where it counts (Pinnacle, The Greek, Heritage, Bookmaker, etc.). 5Dimes is a Pinnacle knockoff whose lines move in tune with Pinnacle's but at higher juice. Bovada is worthless, don't pay attention to their lines or SportsInteraction or other sites that either move on air or cater to squares and always inflate the favorite by 1/2 a point.

Bottom line is there are competing groups on both sides of this game. Just makes the tea leaves harder to read, but when that happens usually it's a dogfight as to who covers.

Yeah, why don't you post your picks in advance for a six month period. Show us how you tear Vegas a new one.

Well, several NO Dimensional teams suddenly developed running and passing games against us (UNCs practice squad with a 3rd string QB, Pitt, UVA). If I was a neutral fan with no allegiance, I'd take Wisky and anything less than -10.

Nothing indicates we can run or pass against their D. If so, our D could play well and still end up with a 17 or 20 to 7 or 3 game.

****, I should bet on Wisky, knowing I'll be ecstatic with a Canes win or at least bank if we lose. Nah, ***** that. Not betting against us, plus it would set up the less than 6 point double dog whammy loss for me.

Game is in The Rock. Crowd matters again - first time since the OB. WI has good team and is well coached but The Rock became our home in the VT and ND games. I think we are taking them down Like the Irish.
 
Abort!

I’ll root like **** for us but I can’t take the side. I think the play is under 45. We still don’t have a qb, and they aren’t gonna beat us by being a one dimensional running team.

Something like 21-20, 24-14, in that range.

Vegas counting on Wisky OL manhandling our DL. Just like they did when we last played them in that "sideline heater" bowl game. We'll see how good RJ and Norton are tonight. Might have an effect on their staying or leaving.

Not exactly going to win anyone over by comparing your team to Pitt, in any way, NFL talent or not.
Pitt is nothing to us.

I'm just giving an honest opinion on my squad, I'm not trying to impress anybody. Pitt is the closest comparison that Miami has played this year, especially when you consider that most of that team was recruited by our head coach.

(the rest is general not aimed at you NJshorecane)

I'm not sure how pointing out that two teams are not alike is pounding my chest but whatever. ND is not a good comparison for what the Badgers do/are and the numbers support that. I see now why Miami fans have the casual/fairweather reputation that they do. Some posters here are clearly very engaged in their program, but a shockingly low interest in actually talking football on this board. Seems to be all cheese/fat jokes and 'Miami is too fast'. Cool.

I go to boards all over the country because I love talking college football and the best part of bowl season is interacting with other fans bases. Obviously, some are more receptive than others.

I don't have any feel for this one. Hadn't even thought about this matchup.

I do know that Wisconsin travels very well. When I lived in Las Vegas they played at UNLV several times and you'd always see thousands of Badger fans in town walking the Strip and everywhere else.

Not an easy test for our challenged passing game. Wisconsin is 3rd nationally in yards per pass attempt allowed at 5.7.

Not exactly a shock that 3 of the 4 playoff teams are within the top 4 in that category: Alabama is first at 5.5, Georgia second at 5.6, and Clemson tied for 4th at 5.8.

Oklahoma winning the championship would be the all time statistical outlier because the Sooners allow a laughable 7.5 YPA. I have never seen a number like that successful in the postseason. Highest I remember was Auburn in 2010 overcoming a 7.0 pass defense with Cam Newton. Mayfield has an even greater challenge. Nobody in the Big 12 allowed less than 7.1 YPA this season. It is similar in that regard to 2008 and all the fraud Big 12 teams. Oklahoma will often be a bit shell shocked at plays that unfolded comfortably in their conference but will be spit out here.

Deceiving.
The Big 10 is the worst passing conference in America.
10 of Wisky's 13 opponents ranked 81st or worse in yards per attempt. Four of those opponents ranked above 110th.
Nebraska sits at 62nd.
OSU is at 19 and FAU is 24th.

Except that Miami is right in that same range, one of the more explosive teams UW has faced but not so much better that it would render the Badgers defensive stats meaningless. (112th in Comp%, 52nd in ypg, 67th in pass eff, 49th in ypa).

Think they may pass it better than you think. Enough to keep our defense honest.
